Solar Car Champions!!!

Three years running we have been the regional champs! 2006 saw our 'Speed Car' destroy the competition! And finally... WE WON THE 2006 GRAND FINAL!!! Well done to the year 6 boys who showed tremendous team work and sportsmanship. :-)

 

After last year's success for the best design for the Solar Star Spaceship, we have two winners with the Solar Dash (Fastest car) and Solar School Bus (Best Design).

Graveney has become the first school to win both categories. In fact, the car was so fast, the judges had to check that we were not using any extra motors!!!

 

Since the regional heats, Graveney went on to the countywide finals where we were beaten by the eventual winners in the fastest car challenge and achieved 2nd place for the best design. Well done Year 6!!!

 

Already we have plans for next year...

 

 

 

The One Word Storytime.

Starting with a random selection of genres, eg. Sci Fi, Romance, Newspaper Report, Diary, Fantasy etc. Each pupil has to add a word to the continuing storyline.

The task was to produce a romantic story by giving only one word from each pupil.
This is the rather bizarre and amusing story that we produced...

 The dog was ugly and the cat kissed the dog on the lips. They loved each other in a mad house. They went to an island together and the cat and the dog were shot in the buttocks so they went to hospital together. They had a lovely time together when they went to the Himalayas. They have two huge kisses every Sunday.

By Class 3

As you can see, the story is always unpredictable and quite often funny! From these stories you can then focus on how to improve the story with better choice words and punctuation.

For our Harvest festival we produced 'Harvest Poems'

Our Harvest Poem - Performed by Austen Group

Corn glowing in the summer sun

One farmer in his combine

Can’t stop until it’s done

A joy to work in sunshine.

 

Field mice scamper through the barn

Snuffle around for seeds

Life sings across the farm

A pleasant life indeed.

 

Tractors growling through the fields

To plough the ground again

And hope next year that nature yields

A land of golden grain

 

My Harvest Poem – Written by Panthia (Year 6)

Now that the wheat

Is all ready now

It’s turned out neat

And is starting to bow.

 

The brown rabbits hide,

Skip though the corn,

The Farmer they’ve spied

Up early this dawn.

 

The golden sun gleaming

Its sliver rays are

Projecting warm beamings

That go out so far.

 

The harvester starts

With a rattle and whine

Through the field it departs

In perfect straight line

 

Now the harvest has ended

And the wheat is all clear

The crop was just splendid

Lets give a big cheer!
